Anything designed by human beings exhibits visual qualities that are specific to the place and period in which it originates. History of Art aims to arrive at a historical understanding of the origins, meaning and purpose of art and artefacts from a wide range of world cultures, asking about the circumstances of their making, their makers, the media used, the functions of the images and objects, their critical reception and – not least – their subsequent history. As well as educating students in the historical interpretation of art in its cultural contexts, a degree in History of Art provides skills in the critical analysis of objects through the cultivation of visual literacy. The acquired skills have broad applicability in a wide range of professional settings, as well as serving the needs of enduring personal enlightenment.
 

Textiles offers a rich exploration of materials in their broadest sense for a wide range of contexts and outcomes.

We encourage you to take a very experimental approach towards materials and processes to produce innovative, contemporary and questioning design work.

You will explore combinations and compositions of:

• imagery
• drawing
• materials
• texture

• embrace new technology
• develop novel ways of working
• study traditional and foundational textile techniques in print and mixed media
• consider sustainability and develop your material awareness

The Liberal Studies program provides opportunities for students whose interests span several academic departments and disciplines. Designed for groups of mature learners with common interests that traditional majors may not fully address, the program is structured around a liberal arts core (comprised of the College's General Education and Diversity requirements) and a (minimum) 30-credit specialization requirement, which may be interdisciplinary in nature.

Liberal arts core courses provide a firm foundation of general knowledge and skills, while specialized courses add depth and focus. The program's multi-disciplinary nature allows for a rich educational experience, tailored to students' particular areas of interest.

If you can’t decide whether you want to focus on dance or theatre or art, majoring in The Arts is the perfect solution! The program allows you to choose three focus areas of the four creative arts – theatre, dance, music and art – and get an individualized education in the foundations of all three disciplines. You’ll participate in performances, exhibits and productions that combine elements such as creativity, analytical thinking and global awareness.

The Studio Art option offers a contemporary training in fine arts (painting, drawing, photography, and digital arts) within the context of a broadly-based liberal arts education.

Courses are taught by full-time faculty and staff who are active professional artists and scholars
Studio class sizes afford students ample individual faculty attention
Many opportunities for participation in exhibitions, field trips, teaching activities, and visiting artist and scholar events

This comprehensive major provides enough flexibility for the incorporation of a minor.

Supporting a proud tradition of excellence in humanities scholarship and teaching, Johns Hopkins University offers students a diverse range of resources and opportunities for the study of art history. Courses are taught by an international faculty of respected research scholars, covering a broad temporal scope of the art and architecture of Europe, the Islamic world, Asia, the Americas, and the trans-Atlantic world. Participating in small classes with opportunities for close study of art in local and regional collections, students integrate their direct experience of works of art with the knowledge and critical perspective gained through historical research, discussion, and debate. 120

In Interdisciplinary Studies, you'll design a cross-disciplinary program of study out of courses that are drawn from two of four broad categories – the Creative and Performing Arts, the Humanities, the Physical and Life Sciences, and the Social Sciences – and that suit your individual learning and career goals.

An education in Visual Arts can be defined as the process whereby one learns how to produce art; engage in the aesthetic and critical analysis of art, and to talk, read, and write about art. Students at Utah Tech will be exposed to numerous concepts and activities involved in becoming visually and aesthetically literate. As part of their artistic study students will become proficient in their art discipline. Students will have opportunity to visit major regional art museums and exhibit artwork both on and off campus.

We're proud to offer one of the few Art Therapy BFA programs in the nation. Art therapy is a four-year, pre-professional degree program integrating three areas of study: studio art, psychology, and the creative arts therapies. Primarily based in the visual arts, you may choose to augment your coursework with opportunities in drama, music, and creative writing. Through foundation courses, you'll grow increasingly comfortable working in a variety of media, and you'll be encouraged to develop your own toolbox of personal creative resources that you can share therapeutically with others.

The Liberal Studies program develops and enhances students’ ability to think critically and provides a strong foundation in the skills necessary to succeed in a wide variety of workplaces and graduate programs. Students wishing to obtain a B.A. in Liberal Studies may pursue one of six multidisciplinary concentrations: Culture; Religion and Society; European Studies, Gender and Sexuality; Race, Ethnicity and Gender; Third World Studies; Individualized Studies. Courses and co-curricular activities emphasize global perspectives and awareness of diversity in historical and contemporary contexts.

The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree at the University of Mount Union provides students with the essential skills, tools, and resources needed for personal interpretation and artistic expression. The mission of the department is to develop, produce, and maintain a curriculum that enables students to acquire a broad knowledge of an array of art disciplines.

When pursuing a degree in art, students can choose from three different concentrations: studio, graphic design, and art education. All three concentrations share a basic foundation of art courses before advancing to the classes designed specifically for that particular area of study. A major in art will provide an excellent basis for further study leading to a career in fine or applied art, or for an advanced degree leading to teaching, and the department has also initiated a program that meets the requirements for a multi-age teaching license.
